OT free advice: If you're still looking for compact devices to fill that role, you might look at the U820 (starts at $1000, 1280x800, so almost only vertical scrolling), the 2133 mini-note (1280x768 netbook, starts at $500) or, when they actually come out, the 2140 (2133 refresh with 1366x768, would be only vertical scrolling).
